PETITION IN SUPPORT OF A DC PUBLIC BANK

We, the undersigned, call on the Mayor and the City Council to create a public bank for the District of Columbia that would:

Require our tax dollars be deposited in the DC Public Bank and not put at risk by private Wall Street banks making speculative investments

Make loans in partnership with local lenders to support DC businesses and create jobs for DC residents

Reduce the city’s borrowing costs for public investments that improve our quality of life
